All they need to do is a licensing deal with www.networkonair.com who'd gladly release some of their stuff [particularly anything that also was broadcast by Independent TeleVision]

Comedian Brendan O’Carroll, the creator of the sitcom Mrs Brown’s Boys, has said he rejected a lucrative licensing deal in Russia after being told he would have to remove a gay character from the storyline.

Other eastern European countries had raised concerns about an openly gay character, O’Carroll said, but the Russian deal would have involved removing the role altogether.

O’Carroll, who plays the lead character, Agnes Brown, as well as writing the show, said he had turned down “a nice fee” to sign the Russian deal.

“It was a nice little deal,” he said. “[Russia] is a big country so the fee you’d charge for the licensing is audience-related, so it’s a big audience and it would have been a nice fee.

“But [they said] ‘no gay, absolutely no gay’. So I said ‘no gay, no show’. And that was it.”

Brendan O’Carroll refused ‘nice fee’ to cut Mrs Brown’s Boys gay character
